________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Item 7a, Place of Entry into Active Duty; be changed to 
Lackland AFB, TX.  

________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was commissioned in Bartlett, IL but entered active duty at 
Lackland AFB, TX where he served all four years.  

The change to his records would allow his son to qualify for the 
Hazlewood Act Tuition Exemption for Texas state universities.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214 and a personal statement. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.  

________________________________________________________________ 

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 Jul 2007, he entered active duty.  

His DD Form 214 shows Place of Entry Into Active Duty (PLEAD) 
and Home of Record (HOR) as Bartlett, IL.  

On 30 Jun 2011, the applicant was discharged.

He served four years on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPANF2 recommends denial.  There is no justification to 
warrant change of the PLEAD.  The Joint Federal Travel 
Regulation (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix A1 reads the place to 
which an order to active duty is addressed and the place at 
which the member attains a military status or at which the 
member enters the service is the PLEAD.  Additionally, the PLEAD 
changes only if there is a break in service exceeding one full 
day in which case it is the place of entry into the new period 
of service.  In Nov 1997, the applicant completed his 
commissioning application to attend the University of Illinois 
College of Medicine under the Air Force Health Professions 
Scholarship Program (AFHPSP) and remained in the reserves while 
attending a civilian residency program in Canton, OH.  In Mar 
2007, the applicant informed the Extended Active Duty (EAD) 
order-issuing and authenticating official his PLEAD was Canton, 
OH. Therefore, Canton, OH was placed in block I of his EAD 
orders.  In Jul 2007, he was accessed on active duty and 
assigned to Lackland AFB, TX.  As reflected in block 12 of his 
order, Lackland AFB TX is his first permanent duty station; not 
his PLEAD. Furthermore, he received travel pay from his PLEAD on 
his EAD orders and In Accordance With (IAW) the JFTR, para U5120 
he was entitled to ship household goods from his PLEAD. 

The complete DPANF2 evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 4 Apr 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
D).  As of this date, this office has not received a response. 

________________________________________________________________ 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.   

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We took notice 
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

________________________________________________________________ 


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
